| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The combination of a prolonged period of rain and melting snow caused poor drainage flooding throughout eastern Pennsylvania as well as flooding of some of the rivers and streams in Berks County and the Lehigh Valley on the 5th. Storm totals in the Poconos, Berks County and the Lehigh Valley were 2 to 4 inches and generally around 1 inch in the local Philadelphia area. There was some parkland flooding along the Schuylkill River in Pottstown (Montgomery County) and some roadway flooding along the Delaware River in Bucks County. Rain began during the morning of the 4th and fell at its heaviest from Midnight EST through 6 a.m. EST on the 5th. The rain changed to snow before it ended in the Poconos on the morning of the 5th and ended as rain elsewhere during the morning of the 5th.||Precipitation was caused by a low pressure system that moved from the Tennessee Valley on the morning of the 4th and crossed West Virginia early in the evening on the 4th. The low pressure system moved northeast and was located near Syracuse, New York at 7 a.m. EST on the 5th and along the New Hampshire and Vermont border early in the afternoon on the 5th. Precipitation ended as its cold front moved through the area during the morning of the 5th. |
